Abstract
Climatic conditions in California are so favourable that intensive outdoor horticultural production is economically feasible despite the inconvenience and expense of long-distance transport to high population centres in NE and N Central USA. Processing tomatoes typify the warm season, machine-harvested, outdoor crops, and crisp-headed lettuce the cool season, fresh market, hand-harvested crops. Cultural practices, including control of weeds, pests and diseases, are outlined.Keywords
